Why; I have really low self esteem and I'm not even that ugly?

I feel exactly the same way, people say I’m pretty & stuff. But I have really low self esteem, and my sister’s like really skinny & really pretty.

These people are right, you shouldn’t compare yourself to other people. Even comparing yourself to celebrities is bad, and I know it happens because people see the magazines and think they’re horrific by comparison; and they’re just not. For your family I’m guessing your sisters are older than you,which leads you to feel inferior and the comparisons you make seem to be very common. You just need to find ways to reassure yourself that you are in fact a nice person, and people do like you. You said it yourself, you like a guy and he likes you. Shouldn’t that be enough to allow you to say “Yeah I am a good person, I am nice and I am interesting… .” Don’t worry about it, with time you’ll eventually feel much more comfortable with yourself and around other people and the self esteem problems will fade away.

Heyy omg Im just like you. Every one tells me that I’m “pretty” I don’t believe them; I meant I’m a lil thick and stuff and I’ve had boyfriends but I just can’t get that low self esteem out of me. I guess we shud just see the bright side of things. I mean I’m hoping we both stop Thinkin like that because it won’t take us nowher.and this guy I really like and likes me as well gets all mad when I bring myself down.People who care about you wouldn’t want you to bring itself down either. Anywhoo just I mean enjoy life I bet you have a great personality inside and that’s what everyone loves. Goood luck hun<3

ok guys heres the deal. number one thing NOT to do that you have done. Comparing yourself to others especially family. believe me I’ve done it before and it doesn’t do any good. And that doesn’t mean go by the newest make-up or straighten your hair to make yourself look better because that doesn’t help and you guys sound like you don’t need it anyways. So stop comparing yourselves to others and wait for someone to come to you appear friendly and be yourself.

well I think you are beautiful

I can’t really answer your questoin but the same thing happens to me

The more you compare yourself to others, the less you become yourself. Try to be yourself, and not others.
